rear arches

[Gr@vel]

as much as i love my car ... there is one thing i h8 about it ...

the flat arch (if you can call it an arch)

could someone do me a photoshop of a mk3 5 door with curved rear arches?

if theres any bodyshop peeps in here ... could you tell me how much work it would take?

The easiest way to convert the rear arches to curved ones, is to but two new front wings and use the arches in them to replace the exisiting rear ones. Front drivers side - rear passenger and vice versa. Quite a bit of work involved as old (exisiting arches need to be cut out then the new ones welded into place (inner arch also) and then smoothed in with fibreglass/filler. Then it needs to be re-sprayed so a bodyshop is defo ur best bet. cost wise ur looking between £80 and £150 per side to get them welded and blended maybe even sprayed if ur lucky.

Another option is to go for a wide arch kit, or use arches from a different motor (MK4 Astra/Focus etc.) But then you need to change all four arches.

Otherwise just learn to like the ones you've got.
